Flights to and from Jakarta have resumed after a two‑day shutdown triggered by the Anak Krakatau eruption. Airlines and tourists were caught in the disruption as the volcano spewed ash across the region, prompting groundings across the capital’s air network.
Authorities will keep the volcano under close observation, and officials have warned another eruption could occur. Travelers are being urged to verify flight status before traveling, while airlines work to restore full schedules.
